In 1996, my daughter's birth was a wonderful out-of-hospital experience at a birth center in Maryland. When we moved to Wisconsin the following year, I was dismayed to learn that birth centers were not yet an option. Our youngest son was born at home instead--an experience that our family cherishes. It has been my burning desire since then to open a center in the Milwaukee area, so that other women would have the same choices that I was lucky enough to have. All women should be able to birth where ever they are most comfortable, whether at home, in a hospital, or at a freestanding birth center. And to that end, I am grateful to be able to offer women a place where they can have a homelike birth if they feel that their own 'home,' for whatever reason, does not feel right. ~Coral C.

"I believe that childbirth is a normal, instinctive process that integrates body, mind, and spirit. It is not an illness requiring treatment or routine intervention. Women planning on birthing in a hospital most often say that they fear losing control of their birth experience. Yet, to labor most effectively, it is this very control that they must surrender, allowing the natural process to flow. They are able to let go when they have faith in their own bodies, and in their caregivers. Women are capable of giving birth naturally if they have the commitment, knowledge, and support to do so."
